@MARl0 by that stage it will be someone else's problem as they will do whatever they like to maximise their holdings for the shareholders.
Also by that time it will be an issue for the Goverment to contend in regards to the jobless as companies will owe nobody any alligance except the shareholders as they will simply say it is all part of doing business.
It will eventually end up with just 2 companies existing, each owning 50% of everything and the job of the head of each company will be to see how they can buy out the other.

The Ai genie is out of its bottle and no amount of screaming at the sky is going to do anything about it. Sooner or later it will come for almost everyone's jobs as company owners Worldwide will not give a toss about their workforce, only the cash they can save by not having one.
Hollywood will become nothing but an I.P holding area with various companies licencing out their stars likenesses, voices, stories and settings to companies which will enable anyone to create whatever movie they want from their own prompts.
Sooner rather than later you are going to have people who once worked not doing anything as their will be nothing to do.

Think I will put my feet up.

The high street is simply dead.

I see my local council and others repeatedly keep attempting to revitilize the high street with each and every instance being a complete waste of time, effort and more importantly money.

The heady days of 70s/80s busy high streets are now just history as the high street of today are nothing but coffee places, take aways and charity shops.

It has been decades since I have bought a magazine from Smiths (the last one I can remember was Bizarre, and that must have been 20+ years ago) or the like as 95% of my reading material is all digitial with the other 5% being books bought from ebay or charity shops.

Should Smiths close, my only concern is where will the post offices go that are now housed in them or will this be something those who buy the stores will need to carry on?
